Wanna Be Powerlifter

Today was supposed to be deadlift amrap day, But we have to move houses for 2 weeks due to them rebuilding the entire house, (people who own the street, are rebuilding it.)
So, yeah unpacking a whole house, and then moving it all. Being kind of sick… Did not improve my deadlift…

Deadlift:
135kg x amrap… 5 reps. Yep. I got nauseous and called it a day.

Could be, My way of thought was “if it hurts, dont anger it more”

I get what you mean, but shoulders generally need work to feel good. Obviously if they’re injured that doesn’t apply, but if my shoulders were hurt I probably would be more likely to ditch bench and keep shoulder work.

i did some shoulder stuff today, no heavy weights, Felt nothing, tried benching just the bar it hurt. So gonna see what the upcoming rest days do!

Ok, time to throw my self confidence out of the window and post my sumo side angle…

Allright, lets tag some peeps:
@guineapig @khangles @MarkKO @Vincepac1500

Show one with heavier weight to see some form break down. This looks like a warm up and warm ups always look good.
